Do you use platic bottles at home to drink water and store liquids?

If you do then you should read this article. I was aware, it it not safe to re-use plastic water bottles(like the mineral water bottles) because they can be toxic after a period of time. Here at home, my hubby prefers to drink out of a bottle than a glass and till recently we both did that. I always argued with my hubby when I told him it isn't safe to re-use these bottles and he always disagreed. I wasn't very sure of the facts myself so had to let it go. But again a few weeks back I threw away all the bottles so he was forced to drink water in glasses. In fact even last night my husband was ranting that he would buy new bottles today..and I told him I would prove why it's not such a good idea. I did a little bit of research today and I was shocked at what I found.I came across two articles which are very informative and gives accurate details as to why we shouldn't use plastic bottles over and over. Please do read this and I hope it is an eye-opener for many of us who aren't aware of it. Plastic bottles are a common household item, but how safe are they? http://www.grist.org/advice/ask/2004/08/02/umbra-bottles/ http://www.grist.org/advice/ask/2005/01/10/umbra-bottles2/ So think twice before you refill a plastic bottle!!
